Sambos and Shoneys were good places for breakfast.

As a kid loved that place along with the Forum Cafeteria at Antioch shopping center. When it closed a Duff took over and that sucked bad for a couple years until Bishops took over the space.

I think Jennie's was the best Italian Restaurant in KC, 5th and Cherry. My dad loved going there even more than Cascone's.

When the old girl died in the 80s the family kept it going and was successful to the end but hearts weren't in it.

Jennie didn't break her pasta either.

Maybe it’s been discussed but I remember Villa Capri. I read a book about the mob a few years ago and learned that the FBI wiretapped that place in the 70s/80s. It was where they first got usable evidence that the mafia controlled Vegas casinos. I mean, they knew about it but couldn’t prove it till the Villa Capri wiretaps. And we used to eat there somewhat frequently.

There was a burger place called Jack's outside of Blue Springs (maybe Grain Valley?) that my Grandfather would take me to when I was a kid. I think my Grandfather new the owner, but I'm not sure.

Fond memories going there as a kid, very Hi-Boy esque.

Did the shell have to be removed? Just wondering because I always forget to do that.

Pretty sure you had to remove shell.

While living in Northern Virginia for 10 years, I went to Stonewall Golf Club at Lake Manassas in Gainesville every Thanksgiving for their turkey day buffet dinner.

They had all you could eat jumbo peeled and deveined shrimp as one of the selections. I would have about 25.

I’m bummed Fuddruckers went out of business. You could order a decent patty and load the **** up at the toppings bar.
